Abstract

The topic of sustainable development has emerged as the topical theme of this era. The global consensus on United Nations-backed programme of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) testifies the significance of this theme in the modern scenario. The role and function of ethical wealth in sustainable development is critically important, as there are many interconnections between the two. This study attempts to examine the nexus between ethical wealth and SDGs from a Maqasid al-Shariah (the higher objectives of Shariah) perspective. The study aims to conceptualise the concept, characteristics and premises of ethical wealth from a Shariah perspective followed by endeavouring to locate the underlying relationship between ethical wealth and SDGs within the established parameters and paradigm of the higher objectives of Shariah. The focus of the study is limited to discuss, in particular, the existing connections and overlapping between SDGs and Shariah-based ethical wealth. For the analysis of the existing nexus between ethical wealth and SDGs, the Maqasid al-Shariah paradigm and its approach towards wealth are delineated based on the primary and secondary sources of Shariah as well as on the basis of available literature on the topic. Broadly, the study covers the ethics of wealth in Shariah, its connection with socio-economic and environmental sustainability as well as its role in materialisation of the SDGs.
